Fish Addict
I bought this plant about two months ago and things started going wrong a few weeks ago. I moved the plant away from the up-lifter for my UGF to the opposite side of the tank and since then things have improved, in so much that I am getting new growth, if a little on the weak side! There were some long white thread like pieces that looked like roots but these have disappeared. I went on holiday for a week and left no food so maybe the fish nibbled at these!?
So basically, I am trying to learn all the ins and outs of keeping a stable tank (mine is only 30L about 26L water when consider gravel / water level etc) so I don't really want to add anything that might upset a volatile setup.
Btw I have 2 Redwags, 1 cory and two neons at the moment. The tank is hexagonal and has an 8W T5 in the top.
Here's the piccy...
(2) Also, I would like to bury these in the gravel (currently weighed down) but am worried about damaging the roots / plants when vacuuming the tank and question whether I would be able to clean things thoroughly enough?
(3) Just one more question (sorry) - Is this plant Elodea canadensis?
Thanks.
